2025 Surround Vision Recorder switched to USB?

FYI - if you have PDR on your 25, you can set it to be an automatic dash cam.

Yes, but it does not have the SVR Surround Vision Recorder.

Correct - only records the front cam.

If you get the Super Cruise package.

And on 25s, SC is included on all automatics. Another feature taken from the manuals?

Can anyone with the latest software (33.0?)for MY25 see if "hey Google, open surround Vision recorder" (I think that's the right name)? I've been trying to get it to launch on my MY26 but it seems like GM blocked that path.

Here's my software about screen...

Feature is still unavailable. There’s another thread about this but GM is trying to turn this functionality into a onstar based cloud subscription service accessible via the Cadillac app. They have not successfully implemented it in 2 years now (originally announced for the Tahoe’s and Suburbans with the Google system)

I'm aware. But I'm trying to reverse engineer the app and figure out if there's a way to get it working. I could see GM having it there and working and just hide it due to some combination of end-user supportability, bugs, and revenue generation. The new service also appears to be there at some level as well.

Long story short, with the GM Service tools you can download the software update to a USB drive and from there extract the Android operating system data which contains the GM apps, etc which can be decompiled to figure out how they work. It's very much a shared platform used across different brands and infotainment systems. I'm hoping there's just some trick we can use to get past the "USB Device Not Found" screen but I can't even get that far on my 2026.
